COLLECTOR STANDARDS

Every card has a story, and every listing should give collectors the information they need to make a confident decision.

ACTUAL-CARD PHOTOS

Listings use photographs of the actual item whenever possible, including front and back views. Any stock or representative image will be identified.

IDENTIFICATION

Year, set, player or character, card number, parallel, serial numbering, autograph, memorabilia and grading details are recorded when applicable and supported by the card.

CONDITION

Raw cards are described conservatively from visible evidence. Photos are part of the condition description. No raw card is guaranteed to receive any specific grade.

GRADED CARDS

For graded cards, the grading company, grade and certification details shown on the holder control. Holder wear is separate from the card’s assigned grade and will be noted when material.

OWNERSHIP AND LISTING CONTROLS

Only inventory approved for sale is eligible for the storefront. Personal-collection and hold inventory remain separate.

PROTECTIVE PACKAGING

Cards are protected using materials appropriate to the item, such as sleeves, rigid holders, team bags, padding and sturdy mailers or boxes.
